ACX500 Universal Access Routers Quick Start—ACX500 Outdoor Routers

ACX500 Routers Quick Start Description
This Quick Start contains information you need to install and configure the ACX500
outdoor router quickly. For complete installation instructions, see the ACX500 Universal
Access Router Hardware Guide at http://www.juniper.net/techpubs/.
WARNING: This Quick Start contains a summary of safety warnings in “Safety
Warnings” on page 21. For a complete list of warnings for this router, including
translations, see the ACX500 Universal Access Router Hardware Guide at
http://www.juniper.net/techpubs/.
The ACX Series Universal Access Routers are Ethernet-optimized mobile backhaul routers
that provide both switching and carrier-class Ethernet routing. The ACX Series routers
enable a wide range of business and residential applications and services, including
microwave cell site aggregation, mobile backhaul service cell site deployment, and service
provider or operator cell site deployment. The routers have high-density Ethernet
interfaces and high-capacity switching throughput.
An ACX Series router has a built-in Routing Engine and one Packet Forwarding Engine.
The Packet Forwarding Engine has one “pseudo” Flexible PIC Concentrator (FPC 0).
Because there is no switching fabric, the single Packet Forwarding Engine takes care of
packet forwarding.
The compact ACX500 outdoor routers are environmental-hardened, and can be deployed
in a variety of outdoor locations, such as on outside street cabinets, walls, and utility
poles. With the router orientation as shown in Figure 1 on page 4, the chassis of the
ACX500 outdoor router measures 12.3 in. (31.24 cm) deep, 4.3 in. (10.92 cm) high, and
10 in. (25.4 cm) wide. The ACX500 outdoor router is available in both AC and DC models.
The ACX500 outdoor routers contain three Gigabit Ethernet SFP ports—labeled
GE(Fiber)—and three RJ-45 ports—labeled GE(Cu).
The ACX500 outdoor routers meets the International Protection profile (IP-65)
classification for dust proof and water splash proof environments.

Step 1: Prepare the Site for Installation
Prepare your site for installation by observing the following guidelines:
•When choosing a location, allow at least 6 in. (15.2 cm) of clearance between the front
and back of the chassis and adjacent equipment or walls.
•Ensure that the wall or the pole onto which the router is installed is stable and securely
supported.
•Ensure that the wall or pole is able to carry the load of the fully configured router.
•If you are mounting the router in wallboard with a gypsum plaster core or in wallboard
not backed by wall studs, use hollow wall anchors capable of supporting the combined
weight of two fully loaded chassis. Insert the screws into wall studs wherever possible
to provide added support for the chassis.
•The width of the pole must be within the range of 2 in. through 16 in. for the
pole-mounting brackets to fit properly.
•To mount the router, use the pole-mount kit or the wall-mount kit from Juniper
Networks.
•The pole-mount kit and the wall-mount kit are not part of the standard package and
must be ordered separately.
•One person must be available to lift the router while another secures the router.
•For service personnel to remove and install hardware components, allow at least
24 in. (60.9 cm) on top of the router.
•When installing the ACX500 outdoor routers on a pole or on a wall, the chassis must
be installed in a vertical orientation with the cables pointing downwards and the eye
bolt for hoisting the router pointing upwards. See Figure 3 on page 6.

Step 1: Prepare the Site for Installation

Step 2: Install the Router
Based on your requirement, you can mount the ACX500 outdoor router either on a wall
or on a pole:
•On a pole—You can mount the ACX500 outdoor router on a suitable telephone,
electrical or an utility pole with the help of the pole-mounting kit. The pole-mounting
kit is sold separately. It is not shipped with the ACX500 outdoor router.
•On a wall—You can mount the ACX500 outdoor router on a suitable wall with the help
of a wall-mounting kit. The wall-mounting kit is sold separately. It is not shipped with
the ACX500 outdoor router.
For complete and detailed installation instructions, see the ACX500 Universal Access
Router Hardware Guide at http://www.juniper.net/techpubs/.
NOTE: When installing the ACX500 outdoor router, keep the following
guidelines in mind:
•The router must not be installed until all unused chassis cable openings
are closed with the weather sealed caps (cap with washer) to ensure
protection of interior of the router from environment. Leaving chassis cable
ports not covered will damage the router.
•Use certified outdoor enclosure (PDU or AC /DC connection box) for
covering the AC and DC input wire terminals at the power source end of
the power cable. Ensure that L, N, and earth wire terminals of the AC power
cable is connected properly to the respective L, N and earth of the AC power
source. Similarly, ensure that the positive (+) and the negative (–) DC
source power cables are correctly connected to the respective positive (+)
and the negative (–) DC power source. A faulty connection may damage
the router and could cause shock hazard and severe injury.
•When installing the router outdoors, the branch circuit that powers the unit
must have ground fault protection as per the local and national electrical
codes (for example NEC code). Ensure that over current protection fuse
in the branch circuit is not greater than 20 A.
•If you are installing the GPS antenna, ensure that antenna is located at
location away from overhead power lines.

Step 3: Ground the ACX500 Outdoor Router
You must ground both the AC-powered and the DC-powered routers before connecting
them to power. Failing to ground the router properly may result in shock hazard.
•Tools Required to Ground the Router on page 9
•Connect the Grounding Cable on page 9
Tools Required to Ground the Router
To ground the router, you need the following tools:
•Phillips (+) screwdriver, number 2
•Electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding wrist strap
•Two 0.5-in. long stainless steel SS 316 SAE 10-32 screws, and flat washers (not
provided)
•Grounding lug, Panduit LCCF6-14A-L or equivalent (not provided)
•Grounding cable, minimum 6 AWG (13.3 mm2) 90° C wire (not provided)
•Corrosion-preventing compound such as NO-OX-ID (not provided)
WARNING: The ACX500 outdoor router has a provision for connecting a
two-hole grounding lug (Panduit LCCF6-14A-L). Ensure that the router is
permanently grounded with 6-AWG copper wire with this specified two-hole
lug.
Connect the Grounding Cable
You ground the router by connecting a grounding cable to earth ground and then attaching
it to the chassis grounding points. To ground the ACX500 outdoor router:
1. Verify that a licensed electrician has terminated and attached the two hole grounding
lug with the 6 AWG ground wire.
2. Attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap to your bare wrist, and connect
the strap to an approved site ESD grounding point. See the instructions for your site.
3. Ensure that all grounding surfaces are clean and brought to a bright finish before you
make grounding connections.
4. Connect the grounding cable to a proper earth ground.
5. Detach the ESD grounding strap from the site ESD grounding point.
6. Attach an ESD grounding strap to your bare wrist and connect the strap to one of the
ESD points on the chassis.
7. Place the grounding lug over the grounding points on the back of the chassis (see
Figure 5 on page 11).

Step 3: Ground the ACX500 Outdoor Router

NOTE: The grounding point location on the ACX500 routers is the same
for both the AC and the DC models.
8. To protect the router from rust and corrosion, perform the following steps:
a. Clean both the mating surfaces (the grounding lug and the ACX500 outdoor router’s
grounding terminals).
b. Apply a thin film ( 1 mm or 0.04 in.) of corrosion-preventing compound, such as
NO-OX-ID, on the router’s grounding terminals.
c. Press the lug onto the conductive surface unit to force out the excess
corrosive-preventing compound.
9. Secure the grounding lug with the washers and screws. The holes are sized for
SAE 10-32 screws. Apply 4 lb-in. (0.49 Nm) of torque to each screw. Do not overtighten
the screw. (Use a number 2 Phillips screwdriver.)
CAUTION:
•Ensure that each grounding lug sits flush against the surface of the
grounding points as you are tightening the screws. Ensure that each
screw is properly threaded into the grounding points. Applying
installation torque to the screw when improperly threaded can damage
the terminal.
•The maximum torque rating of the grounding screws on the router is
4 lb-in. (0.49 Nm). The grounding screws can be damaged if excessive
torque is applied. Use only a torque-controlled driver to tighten screws.
Use an appropriately sized driver, with a maximum torque capacity of
5 lb-in. or less. Ensure that the driver is undamaged and properly
calibrated and that you have been trained in its use. You might want to
use a driver that is designed to prevent overtorque when the preset
torque level is achieved.
10. Verify that the grounding cabling is correct, and verify that it does not touch or block
access to router components, and that it does not drape where people could trip on
it.
